Solution Overview

Problem

Developing and deploying web applications with multiple components across different development teams is time-consuming and costly due to compatibility issues and the need for extensive testing, leading to slow processing speeds and inconsistent user experiences across websites.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a component registry database that allows web applications to dynamically retrieve and incorporate application components, such as micro-frontends and micro-applications, at runtime, enabling efficient configuration, deployment, and reuse of components while maintaining a consistent user interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If multiple development teams contribute code to a common platform for building websites with multiple web applications, then consistency in look and feel can be maintained, but development time and processing speeds become slow due to extensive testing and release cadences

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveconsistency in look and feelVSAvoiddevelopment time

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments web applications into independent, self-contained units that can be developed, tested, and deployed separately. Each web application is treated as an isolated component that can be managed independently, eliminating the need for coordinated testing across multiple teams while maintaining consistency through standardized interface contracts.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining interface contracts and component specifications before development begins. This allows teams to work in parallel with predetermined integration points, reducing the need for extensive post-development testing and release coordination.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Stability of the object's composition

If multiple development teams coordinate changes to the same application on a common platform, then consistency can be maintained, but development becomes costly and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveconsistencyVSAvoidcoordination time

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the application into segmented components with clearly defined boundaries and interfaces. Each development team works on separate segments independently, eliminating the need for continuous coordination while ensuring consistency through standardized interface definitions that govern how segments interact.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service through automated interface validation and contract verification. Each team can independently verify their components meet the required interfaces without manual coordination, allowing autonomous development while maintaining overall system consistency.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If web applications are built using a common platform with code from various teams, then functionality can be expanded, but processing speeds and deployment times are slow

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovefunctionalityVSAvoidprocessing speed

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the web application into independent, modular components that can be developed and deployed separately. This segmentation enables parallel development of multiple functionalities without interfering with each other, significantly improving processing speeds and reducing deployment times while maintaining system versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic component loading and instantiation, allowing web applications to load only the necessary components at runtime rather than requiring all components to be processed together. This dynamic approach accelerates processing speeds while preserving the ability to provide expanded functionality through on-demand component retrieval.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Systems and methods are disclosed for presenting web application content. A method for presenting web application content includes executing a web application using a web browser, the web application configured to display a web page element in a web browser. The method includes identifying an application component requested by a user action. The method also includes querying a component registry database for the application component, the component registry database including one or more application components loadable by the web application. The method then includes obtaining, from a link in the component registry database, application component code for the application component. The method also includes incorporating the application component code into the web page element. The method also includes rendering the application component code and the web page element using the web browser so that the application component is displayed in the web browser as part of the web page element.
